JAKARTA - The indie weather app, Mercury Weather, is now attracting more attention from Apple users thanks to its latest update. After introducing several new features last August, Mercury Weather is now presenting version 2.8. This version offers the ability to provide rain and snow notifications, as well as other improvements that make it easier for users to monitor the weather accurately.

Through this update, users can choose to receive special notifications regarding rain, snow, and extreme weather warnings. These notifications are designed to be more accurate in providing weather warnings, complete with further updates if the rainfall forecast changes.

Users will be notified whether the rain is only drizzle or will last all day. That way, Mercury Weather makes it easier to plan daily activities, especially for those who are sensitive to changes in the weather.

Another new feature is a large widget that displays more detailed weather information, including current weather conditions, rainfall forecasts, and hourly and daily weather forecasts. This widget can be installed on the Home or Lock Screen, so that weather information can be accessed directly without having to open the application.

This application also offers flexibility in choosing weather data sources. Users can choose between several well-known weather data providers such as Apple Weather, OpenWeather, and Foreca. This feature allows users to choose the most accurate provider or one that suits their weather information needs in their area.

In addition, Mercury Weather comes with various widgets that support Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and the latest Apple Vision Pro device. This application is designed by the same team that developed Orbit, a popular application that helps freelancers manage work, calculate working hours, and create invoices.

Mercury Weather can be downloaded for free on the App Store. However, some premium features, such as adding weather locations for multiple locations at once, require a paid subscription. Subscription fees start at $ 2.99 (IDR 46 thousand) per month, with the option to purchase a lifetime license for individual users or families, so users can enjoy all the features indefinitely.

With this update, Mercury Weather is further establishing itself as the alternative weather application of choice for Apple device users who want more detailed and accurate weather information in the palm of their hand.
